l  FIX BOUNDARY

This function is used to constrain the binder boundary to check if it changes with the flange.

Flange is not pasted on binder as illustrated in Figure 6.2.57. If this option is not toggled on, the binder boundary will freely change with the selected flange area after clicking the Apply button as illustrated in Figure 6.2.58. If this option is toggled on, binder boundary will not change, only inner of binder will change with the selected flange, as illustrated in Figure 6.2.59.
